This is another photo of this Hudson. Its has two doors, so a convertible or a chop top.
I have no idea where she is now, but a fantastic car.

Cheers harit

Apparently the agent was active, there seem to have been many cars.
Strange number plate, though.

Cheers harit

Harit is that another LMP registration?

Gents,
A friend of a friend of mine took this photo in London in 1948. I guess it was some British civil servant type returning home after independence.

Hillman Minx(MSW-9574); VW Van (WBD-6714) and a RR SG

I have MSW 9574 listed as a photo from Cedric, though as usual I cannot find it at the moment. Any pics/history of the other 2?

Karlos,
WBD was taken by the friend (not friend of friend) in London about 1964 and is a temporary number. I guess being on a VW camper, it is hippies but who knows.
MSW is again taken in London by the same friend in the 60s. It's a Hillman Minx so must have been taken to India, used there and returned to the UK.
Cheers
Cedric

Another shot of Queen Elizabeth during one of her India visits. Does the Dodge survive?

Sadly not, scrapped probably in wetern India. Car was in UP for a while, moved west and scrapped. Engine had by then gone, and she was fully rusted. Somewhere I have a photo, she was white in colour.

I can confirm it's a 1947 year make. The 48's had round tail lamps.

I like Ford A saloons, these are now quite rare. This was a Bombay car.

Cheers harit

It appears that this parade was proceeding from the Mysore palace (a common starting point for public processions and such), through Ashoka road (It was not a one-way in the early 80s) and turning onto Irwin road.

Wonder what this procession was for?

A trike probably in Pakistan. The registration is KAP, black letters on white plate meaning that it could be a hire car. And maybe in Karachi. Can anyone make out which bike this originally was? The rear passenger box gives the idea of a 'Woody'.
The car on the upper right also look interesting, I have not tried to match the make. Looks European, but maybe also a Kaiser product. It is LHD.
Just noticed that the bike's headlight has the upper half painted black. Wartime?
